Alligator snapping turtles are a protected species in Texas, so hopefully this man accidentally caught this big guy. One can only hope. So how long have alligator snapping turtles been around? Well, they look fairly prehistoric, so there's that.

They are also the largest freshwater turtle in North America, and can live from 50 to 100 years old despite reaching maturity around age 12. They tend to spend most of their lives in the water, so if you're perusing Caddo Lake, I would keep this photo in mind.
